With him, you need a super calm player to keep him on track, focused, and not making any EE plays. I don't necessarily think EE would make a good captain, though. His drafting isn't the best and I don't believe he can efficiently motivate teams to | ||

Also Liquid has my favorite people so no matter how badly they play I will stand by them (or get my ass kicked with them). | ||

I wouldn't exactly expect an EE led stack to win international events, but I wouldn't be surprised at all to see them work hard and be good enough to qualify for tournaments and post decent results. Sometimes people are so used to making fun of c9 that there weren't that many teams in the world who did better than them. Good points. | ||

I was just trying to make a response to hunter on why I don't believe that statement is right.

I think RTZ can actually just listen mostly? So EE Puppey + Bulba used from coaching might be the issue | ||

Also Liquid has my favorite people so no matter how badly they play I will stand by them (or get my ass kicked with them). To add on to what to spudde said (and again only responding to you because you're asking), the irony of the Liquid flair is that Kuro has a history as a choker in high pressure LAN situations, and you can even see this in Liquid's results throughout the year--Liquid overall did worse than Secret if you look at pure monetary earnings, and the overall prestige of their results is at least comparable--Secret won a major and finished 2nd in another. They did worse at TI but had more top LAN wins (all in the fall though). They made about 50% more money throughout the season (2 mil vs. 1.3 mil) edit: supposedly (and this is just hearsay), Bulba would argue with Puppey during drafts | ||

Both want to assume the leader role in a team, and they have the chance to be good at it. I personally don't find EE to be a good Dota player, but I can't deny that he's very influential which is a key attribute of a good captain. He's the NA version of Artstyle, perhaps with a little bit better mechanic. One day EE will get the criticism he derserves but it is not today. Not only has he mentioned being happy to be relieved of the burden of captaincy I really wonder in what world you can look at EE's 2013-2016 career and call him a bad player. | ||
